Hi Robert. That's a good question that I had to check against my Hebrew Lexicon. Apparently, in Leviticus 11:13,20, the mention of 'fowl' is normally understood as a bird of various descriptions. But in Hebrew, the word is 'oph', meaning 'flying creatures', & this would take in not only birds that we identify as 'fowl', but also creatures with wings that have four or more legs (e.g. locusts, hornet & bee species, etc.).
And then in verses 21-23, "Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth...", we get a further explanation of these multiple legged flying creatures that could be eaten: the grasshopper & beetle; and what were unclean: everything else).
What is an example of a fowl that creeps on all fours ?

Thanks for the response
